The Earthquakes waived forward Alexandre Gonzalez Emerson and midfielder Jacob Hustedt and activated midfielder Mehdi Ballouchy from the disabled list. Ballouchy, a former Santa Clara All-American, has been out since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee against FC Dallas on Sept. 29, 2012. Gonzalez, 20, trained with the Quakes during the 2013 preseason, and the San Jose native signed with the club April 4. He made one appearance in Reserve League play.

The Quakes will host Norwich City on July 20 at Buck Shaw Stadium. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.
